Tua WAS a phenom when he fought Ibeabuchi. That was one of the best slug-fests that I've ever seen, but I thought Tua edged out Ike and should have gotten the nod. I have the tape and watched it over a dozen times.
I'm also a HUGE Tua fan! I just wish that he could drop some weight and get a good trainer. He's still young enough and might have a couple of years left in him.
Tua was really coming on strong in the mid and late rounds,, I thought he beat Ike also. one more round and Ibabuchie would have been toast ! David is going to stay active and is on a mission to realize his dream of becoming Heavyweight Champion !
C.C. back, Lords Gym. With the state of the HW division as it stands today, it's certainly not inconceivable that Tua can grab one of the titles. I would love to see a match-up with him and Peter. That would be a barn-burner while it lasted.
